Exquisite Decorative 10 1/2 Bowl. DESCRIPTION: The unique centerpiece bowl was produced with beautiful hand painted pink flowers & green leaves. The pink flowers are nestled in their green leaves. Actually, there are several features that are truly eye-catching. One is the gold medallions that are embossed and painted in solid gold paint. Another is the gold swirls which form the cartouches containing the pink roses. The light green washes that fade to white in the center of the bowl are outstanding. There are even grey ghost leaves to give depth to the painting. The rim has a dark green band of varying width that has stippled gold on the edge. The beading separates the green band from the cartouches. This makes a beautiful display piece or can be used daily. CONDITION: While this bowl is classified as used, the condition is superb. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines. There are no utensil marks & no wear to the gold. DIMENSIONS: The bowl has a diameter of 10 1/2″ with a height of 2 3/16″. Is frequently incorrectly named as Lewis Straus & Sons. But, in fact, the company of Lazarus Straus & Sons was founded in 1869 and successfully specialized in the import and resale of glass and ceramics. By 1874, Nathan Straus (one of 4 sons of Lazarus) convinced Macy’s to allow the shop-in-shop chinaware departments in all their stores. So successful was the venture that they formed the U. Based New York & Rudolstadt Pottery Company, Inc. To import from the Rudolstadt Works in Thurginia, Germany. With expanding business, Lazarus Straus opened subsidiaries in France L. Limoges, a decorating studio and Bohemia while maintaining a glass importing business in London. Lazarus died in 1898 and, by 1896, Nathan had full control of the business which he retained until 1930 when it closed. In 1924, he renamed the business Nathan Straus and Sons. The source for the above is: Bohemian Decorated Porcelain by Dr. Henderson and the subscribed web source porcelainmarksandmore. The orange decorator overglaze mark on the bowl is mark #1 in Mary Frank Gaston’s Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd Edition. This mark was used from 1891 to the mid 1920′s. The green underglaze mark is one that Gaston cites as an unidentified mark #2 used after 1891. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
